Last Three Men Acquitted in Trial Over Plot to Kidnap Michigan Governor

Fourteen men were charged in state and federal court in connection with the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Nine defendants were previously convicted or pleaded guilty, while two were acquitted in earlier trials.
In the final trial, William Null, Michael Null, and Eric Molitor were acquitted of providing support for terrorism and weapons charges.
Prosecutors said the acquitted men participated in drills, visited Whitmer's home, and supported the main plotters.
Defense lawyers argued their clients didn't know the full extent of the plot and were entrapped by FBI informants.
